It is once again time to think about recognizing our Outstanding Students. Students will be completing their application documents, but they may be contacting you for endorsement statements to submit on their behalf. All application materials need to be in on or before Monday, March 7th.
As always please be conscientious of deserving students and encourage them to apply for recognition. We have students that are deserving that may have graduated Summer 2021 or even last semester that may not receive email notices. Even students that are graduating this spring may miss out on some notices due to the distribution tools. As a faculty or staff member that knows of deserving students, let us all reach out to these students and give them the nudge to complete their applications. As many of you know, an email from an advisor or instructor tends to get more notice than a newsletter. Please keep in mind that eligible students are those that have graduated Summer or Autumn of 2021, or will graduate Spring 2022. Any student applying for consideration must have a minimum of 3.0 GPA to be eligible.
The application document and endorsement document are both Microsoft Word documents and can be accessed here: https://ati.osu.edu/outstanding_22. When the hyperlinks on this page are selected, the Word document should download automatically. You may need to navigate to your Downloads folder to open it. If you are using a mobile device, then you may need to prompt the browser to download the file instead of previewing the file. If you are using a mobile device you will need to make sure that you have the MS Word app on your device.
All current students will be receiving an email with similar instructions, but again, please consider mentioning the outstanding student award to those students that you feel would be good candidates.
